*************************************************************************/
% The following code produces the same random numbers as my previous
% ranpkg.pl, but is more accurately documented and slightly more
% efficient.
% ranpkg.pl random number package Allen Van Gelder, Stanford
% rannum produces a random non-negative integer whose low bits are not
% all that random, so it should be scaled to a smaller range in general.
% The integer is in the range 0 .. 2^(w-1) - 1,
% where w is the word size available for integers, e.g., 18 for DEC-10,
% and 16 or 32 for VAX and most IBM.
%
% ranunif produces a uniformly distributed non-negative random integer over
% a caller-specified range. If range is R, the result is in 0 .. R-1.
%
% ranstart must be called before the first use of rannum or ranunif,
% and may be called later to redefine the seed.
% ranstart/0 causes a built-in seed to be used.
% ranstart(N), N an integer, varies this, but the same N always
% produces the same sequence of numbers.
%
% According to my reading of Knuth, Vol. 2, this generator has period
% 2^(w-1) and potency w/2, i.e., 8, 9, or 16 in practice. Knuth says
% potency should be at least 5, so this looks more than adequate.
% Its drawback is the lack of randomness of low-order bits.
